Supplies are a little haphazard at the shop. The beans dried up (pardon the pun) because of prolonged hot weather then they were blown down by the wind. All the shop has to offer is dried ones, that you even have to shell yourself! He's got those funny rude squashes aplenty, which is good as the courgette supply has also dried up. Autumn raspberries are a great crowd pleaser but apples are nonexistent. He's tried getting some on the black market but no luck so far. As with every year the shopkeeper promises he'll be more organised and not order quite so much in the spring to leave space for an order in early summer to ensure succession of produce. He's been saying this for years and it never happens, so don't hold your breath.
